[frosty frost]

Hooooly, are you using any mods?

[silk arch]

Nope. Music mods sometimes, but that was clear vanilla start from R2mods.

[stoic trench]

That can’t possibly be anything in vanilla, I suspect someone might be using mods 🤔

[frosty frost]

Is that that dedicated server or player hosted? And does anyone else using any mods?

[silk arch]

Ok. I'll ask boys.
Yet, we played a lot, till middle of swamps without map, never was such issues.

I've starting game like this, with vanilla start button. Maybe that was a reason?

[frosty frost]

Try to turn everything off, mods are just always the problem

[silk arch]

Maybe even reinstall that for good

[hardy veldt]

what weapon do i fight yagluth with silver sword himminafl frostner or frost arrows?

[frosty frost]

Sere, cant hurt to do a clean reinstal 🙂

[frosty frost]

Silver sword is best in normal progression, i never looked at how Himminafl would fair against him tho

[shut holly]

it's okay for adds but I'd use sword for yag, myself

[silk arch]

Thanks everyone!

[frosty frost]

Yep, silver sword is still best from those

[full smelt]

my friend was the host of our server and he's offline, so I can't play on the server, but he dropped the server's saves. Thanks to these files (which he sent me), how can I log on to this server and play on my own without his participation

[frosty frost]

You can play there solo, but his save will still be the same, so anything you do there will not be there when he hosts again.

[delicate condor]

how can I make this wooden floor look a bit better aesthetically?

[full smelt]

and how do I access these saves? I upload files to the worlds_lokal folder, but nothing happens in the game.

[frosty frost]

You should have the world in the menu then

[full smelt]

I can't see him(

[icy brook]

You can make a nice criss cross pattern with 1x1 floors

[gloomy dagger]

where can i find vegvesir bonemass ?

inside swamp dungeons or outside them?

[frosty frost]

In crypts or in the stone towers in swamp 🙂

So both~ 😄

[lost ore]

is there someone who is familiar with mods? I wanted to try some mods but after downloading them on thunderstore my game doesnt launch i can show u all the mods I am using if someone can help me that would be great

[frosty frost]

Try asking in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues 😄 Folks there will most likely be able to help you.

[gloomy dagger]

what is the radius of the world

in metres

[frail cave]

10500

[gloomy dagger]

how far is 1500m from the centre, visually?

im trying to find haldor

[gloomy dagger]

you sure thats radius and not diameter?

[true steeple]

That’s the radius

[frail cave]

diameter is 21000 yea

the world feels a lot smaller when you're on a ship

[gloomy dagger]

can anyone recommend a strategy for finding haldor?

[frail cave]

sail around black forest shores, thorough exploration of each one isn't necessary since the discovery radius is pretty huge

[frosty frost]

Also searching around elder can help sometimes 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

why so? is there any reason he might appear there more often?

[frosty frost]

I dnt think there is any rule for it, just from experience he is there somewhat often 🙂

[steep tusk]

21000 km ?
Bonkers.

[lyric parcel]

Guys, a quick question as I could find any info fast on my own. Are animals and monsters susceptible to fall damage? And are there any modifiers for them to take fall damage?

[steep tusk]

Afaik we are the only entity that cares about falling.

Otherwise there'd be an entire strat for Queen about taking her to the top floor and making her charge at you.

[lyric parcel]

That's a bummer

[frail cave]

-# they specifically asked "in metres"

[burnt vessel]

Would symlinking the *_local save dirs between Linux and Windows versions be safe?

[steep tusk]

kilo is a TYPE of meter 😛

[frosty frost]

No that is thousand meters 🙂 if they wanted kilometers the could ask "how many thousands of meters", but that is not what they did right? 😄
(And if you really want to go this way then it might be also 21000 milimeters 😛 kinda small for a world isnt it?)

[steep tusk]

21 Megamilimeters? 😛

[frosty frost]

The world has diameter of 21 000 000 000 µm 😛

[burnt vessel]

micro meters?

[frosty frost]

Indeed 😄 (someone may also call them microns 😉 )

[burnt vessel]

heh 😆

[burnt vessel]

Going to do it and see since manually copying seems ok.

[frosty frost]

I cant really help you as i never worked with linux, but good luck! 😄

[stark oxide]

Hey I've got a buddy who can't have people join his game! every time we tired it says we are banned from the game and he can't find out why it says that! He has made sure we are not banded but it still says the same thing no matter what he does

[lilac coyote]

You're better off asking the server owner.

[stark oxide]

what chat would that be?

[lilac coyote]

Huh? I don't know who runs your server.

[stark oxide]

oh wait nvm sorry the server owner has no idea why its not working we both installed the game, at the same time and every time i try to join his game it says im banned but, I've look at his game and it says I'm not banned and we've been trying to figure out why it says im banned when im acutely not

[lilac coyote]

Is there a whitelist file in use?

[stark oxide]

we think its some kind of bug in the game, he can join my game and everything in my setting is the same as his.

[stark oxide]

and i don't think so

Also idk if this will help but he’s started a few games and I can’t join any of them

[agile rapids]

how would yall reccomend me to get to yag? (this si my first playthrough past mountains)

i must've stepped on odin's toes and that's why i didn't make it to valhalla

[ornate brook]

I'd go for the most western one, it's a long but easy sail, and you won't have to navigate around any mistlands. On top of that, that yag continent has a really nice mistlands.

[hardy veldt]

anyone got playthrough ideas like with different weapons only or smth im bored

[languid sapphire]

did they change the spawn areas of moder , me and my friends got a moder spawn between mistalnds , i was confused we went there its literally covered in mist from all sides and we are still in early silver age, then i checked the seed because before moder never spawned that far few years ago, i saw there were 2 more moder both in similar condition one in the north another in the west, I can share the seed aswell if you want , we want suggestion how to reach there and do the boss

[weary merlin]

Could someone help? I have problem with joining to dedicate server. Announcement: "Unable to connect to the server, the application ID provided by the server is invalid"

[dim crystal]

Hey guys. Is anybody on Xbox able to craft a basic leather tunic for a warlock class? I’llpay you well for it. Just want it for looks. Dn me?

[little trench]

speedrunning. skip progression and still try to manage

and play on harder difficulties if u havent already

[bitter kiln]

how do you guys keep up with sap demands in ashlands if you are playing a mage set-up? I have a mist base with 4 adjacent roots and usually tap them every 4-5 days.

[languid sapphire]

can someone give me a tip how to reach moder , me and my friend are still in early silver edge and all of the 3 moder spawn are all in mistland area and covered with mist from all sides never saw a seed like this what to do in this situation

[late hawk]

no speed reduction from armor

[little trench]

just do the bonfire cheese strategy

[bitter kiln]

How far do you have to travel through the mistlands? I would just set up a portal in whatever biome right outside the mist at the shortest path through. bring frost potions and a second set of portal mats. line yourself up through the shortest point towards the mountain and sprint or sneak through. maybe sneak. and if you end up dying just go naked and corpse run your way there.

I don't think they necessarily changed the Moder spawn. just bad luck and can happen. I had a mountain like that, but there were some paths through the plains. and my main Moder spawn was just surrounded by easy black forest. so just bad luck.

You've got this!

[tired root]

Running hastily through mist on top of the mountain with help of Eikthyr power and Ratatosk Tonic with portal mats.

[wraith junco]

Can anybody help me find and fight the plains boss so I can FINALLY get to the mist lands?

[little trench]

if u want, u can go to mistlands now. it's surprisingly doable without the wisplight

[silk arch]

I've heard suggestion, that this troll-drop was vengeance of troll-fish, hanged on the wall inside the base.🤣

[willow raft]

I make a portal chain and use every Dvergr extractor I find, now I've got about 7 or 8 in a portal chain.

[lost sandal]

Wrong server..?

[ebon marsh]

Pretty sure he wants someone to mod him in a custom armor set

wait but actually that doesn’t make sense considering it’s Xbox

[lost sandal]

yeah

[ebon marsh]

I think you right lol

[bitter kiln]

Thank you! I'll look around for other clusters of roots and set up a portal chain!

I've got like 4 wood chests full of sap using the 4 roots, but i don't actually mage yet so I figured I would probably run out pretty fast once I start making the Eitr foods from the ashlands.

[willow raft]

The good thing about a portal chain is you can place the portal right near the extractor, pop out of the portal, gather mats, pop in the exit portal and continue to the next and it is really easy to add new portals to the portal chain.

[limber steppe]

Nah fam ashlands is absolutely unplayable in multiplayer. The lag is just too much

[willow raft]

My buddy and I didn't have problems.

[drifting ether]

Does anyone know how I can change the character name? it's possible ?

[vocal plinth]

Where do i get the world save

[frosty frost]

There is no ingame feature for that, i think there is a way to do it with changein some files but i personally dont know how, easier would be to make new character and give him the same skill lvls as the one you want to rename. 🙂

[vocal plinth]

in C:\Users\ "your user name" \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim and there you should see worlds_local folder if i want to move my world to a server what files exactly do i move?

[drifting ether]

Hmm sure, ty for you attention

[vocal plinth]

I moved the world saves from stream autocloud to local

[drifting ether]

Oh, right thanks

[willow raft]

All of them that are in the same folder, which should be two I believe.

[vocal plinth]

there';s two files

[frosty frost]

the .db and .fwl files with the name of the world you want 🙂

[vocal plinth]

vikings.db and vikings.fwl

[frosty frost]

Yep, both of those 🙂

[vocal plinth]

okey

and i have a linux server here, how do i figure out where to u0pload the two files in?

[frosty frost]

That have no idea unfortunately

[willow raft]

#linux Would be the place to ask I presume.

[vocal plinth]

I havent started the world yet so in theory i could make it and maybe there will be a world file to replace?

When i start the server, how do i join it, does anyone have any clue?lol

[vocal plinth]

i figured it out

but the world files i put in dont work

thje two at the bottom are my files, but the server keeps generating new ones

them being the two at the top

thats all in the worlds_local file

[serene tangle]

Looks like you have a dedicated server.
Better ask in corresponding channel then #dedicated-server

[severe pewter]

Why do some recipes for cipi like sausages and other things not unlock them even if I have the materials?

[zealous mica]

is the cauldron upgraded with the spice rack?

[severe pewter]

No how can I get it

[zealous mica]

I think you need a chain from the swamp

you can find them in dungeons or kill wraiths at night

[severe pewter]

thanks

[still oxide]

can tamed animals be tp'd with the portal?

[thorn spire]

nope.

[tepid fiber]

Is there a puzzle to be solved in the frost caves? I just found a fishing rod but the lake is frozen over. I added wood to the already existing fire thinking it would do something, also tried to /rest.

Gave it a quick google. Looks like the lake is either frozen or not frozen, and there is no puzzle. But I wanted to ask here as well

[thorn spire]

yes and no. Some frost caves have unfrozen lakes with Tetra in them.

[tepid fiber]

I think I found one of those earlier in my playthrough. Didn’t have a fishing rod yet but I marked it to come back to later

[still oxide]

then how do i travel with them?

[willow raft]

Boat, build a ramp above your boat and either push them off of it onto your boat or destroy the ramp under them to basically do the same.
Once they are on it, make sure to stay away from the shore and better stop sailing when you encounter a storm.
Else they will either aggro a mob or clip trough the boat.

[frosty frost]

not chain, you need dandelions, carrots, mushrooms, thistle and turnips

[zealous mica]

Ah, probs missing turnips then, must have been thinking of something else

[frosty frost]

The chain is needed for forge upgrade 🙂 so maybe that?

[thorn spire]

chain is needed for the upgraded cooking station.

[loud linden]

Can't keep the wife in the kitchen without a chain, am I right? 😛

[arctic monolith]

-is Krom considered polearm or sword when it comes to skill

[thorn spire]

Oh, I ain't touching that comment with an atgeir.

[thorn spire]

It's a sword.

[arctic monolith]

got it

[willow jungle]

Does someone have a lay-out for me for an automated chicken farm that works? I've build one, but the chickens can't find the seeds

[loud linden]

It's a battery farm. Name it for what it is 😛

[willow jungle]

True, true xD

[charred glacier]

What foods can you tame boars with?
Does carrots or turnips work?

[willow jungle]

Dunno what is wrong here. Can someone maybe take a look?

[willow jungle]

Yes, both work. You can also use Raspberries

[charred glacier]

Can you tame two at the same time?

I have two 1 star boars in a pen. One is frightened, one is 13% tame and frightened.

I leave 50 turnips and 50 carrots with them, come back 2 days later, no difference on them.

[loud linden]

@charred glacier And blueberries.

[willow jungle]

Yes, but you have to stay out of their line-of-sight, but also close enough (64 meters) in the area

[charred glacier]

Aha ok, I teleport away from them.
Maybe that wont work

[willow jungle]

If that is further than 64 meters, it doesn;t work

[charred glacier]

Should I just hang out for a bit around them?
Will the same be required for them to start breeding?

I figured it would work to have pig farm away from main base, but if closeness is required, there will never be progress there when you return I assume?

[loud linden]

Ideally, you have your breeding farm in reasonably close proximity to your base, so you can go about your business while the piggies pork. Otherwise, yeh, you're gonna have to watch the show.

[willow jungle]

This distance works, to give you an example. I can stand afk here, or do stuff in my base, and the boars will breed in the farmer I marked with a red circle

[charred glacier]

So I guess then, even if I wait close by for them to become tame, they will still not breed if we're not in proximity.

We figured it was a smart idea to place it away from base to avoid lag 😄

[willow jungle]

I can confirm that when you have 50+ boars, you get drops in fps in your main base 😂

[vocal plinth]

Why does this happen

[cosmic cedar]

Place 2x2 walls on either side of the workbench and you should be fine

[vocal plinth]

Ty

[frail cave]

it happens because coverage in valheim is calculated based on invisible rays projected from an object.
70% of these have to hit a solid object and a roof has to be somewhere directly above it for a workbench to be satisfied.
(a common problem is that the space is too tight and the rays start above the ceiling or behind the walls, since as this demo image shows, the rays don't start at the exact center of the object, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, aramisxan's solution probably works)

[vocal plinth]

Ty

[loud linden]

No. Put more effort in and come back.

[fluid stag]

?

[frosty frost]

Try to connect few more times, sometimes it can take a few tries 🙂

[fluid stag]

i tried to connect maybe 20 times

[frosty frost]

Oh, dont know whats going on then

[loud linden]

Or at least let us know what server you're connecting to. Is it dedicated? Is it hosted by another player?

[fluid stag]

hosted by my friend

[loud linden]

My first thought is a version conflict. Is everyone completely updated?

[fluid stag]

i`m playing maybe maximum 5-10 min, after this starting to lagging, and there is have a usb and processor or smt sign on left top

[loud linden]

Oh, so you're able to connect initially, and then dropping out and getting this error?

[fluid stag]

after this disconnecting me from game

[fluid stag]

yes

[loud linden]

You're seeing how that screenshot is not of any value now, yes?

But, anyway...

Is the host somewhere far from you?

[loud linden]

Sorry, I don't speak Glyph.

[karmic hearth]

• means yes on some occasions.🙂

[loud linden]

You're on a console?

[fluid stag]

no

Laptop

[loud linden]

How are you connected to your internet? Wireless? Ethernet?

[fluid stag]

wireless

[loud linden]

Can you establish an ethernet connection?

[fluid stag]

i tried already

[loud linden]

That's good. It means the problem is at least one layer up.

I recommend playing around with your connection with just you. If that works, establish connections to things that aren't Valheim. If you're able to connect trouble-free to another online game, or a google drive of the host, or any external connection equivalent to whatever the host is offering, then it's probalby their issue.

[vocal plinth]

Yo guys

Is it normal to get like 10 copper per the whole rock?

Cause i feel like im mining inefficiently

I be mining copper, yet i get more stone

[loud linden]

Dig down. The copper veins are like icebergs; most is blow the surface.

[vocal plinth]

huh

But its just one layer

Is it not evenly spread out?

[loud linden]

I refer you to my previous statement. 😉

[vocal plinth]

But the texture of copper is gone and there's only rock if i dig down?

Im confused

[frail cave]

you can hit the grassy ground "inside" the rock to get deeper

[loud linden]

Perhaps 'dig around' is more accurate.

[oblique smelt]

hey i just started playing valheim but i have searhced 3 swamps and found no iron am i doing something wrong

[vocal plinth]

Is there stuff inside?

[frail cave]

the rock is an object separate from the ground that clips through it, and most of the rock's body is below the surface

every fragment has the same chance of dropping copper, so yea there's a lot more below the ground

[ember sluice]

Do vineberry only produce berries if grown in ashlands

[thorn spire]

They grow and produce berries anywhere.

[thorn spire]

Have you defeated the elder yet? Iron is hidden underground and in the swamp crypts.

[oblique smelt]

yeah elder is dead

[thorn spire]

Use his key to open swamp crypts in the swamp. the muddy scrap piles drop iron.

[oblique smelt]

i havent found any crypts

[thorn spire]

ah ok. Gotta search more swamps then.

Keep sailing around swamp shores. Investigate any ground-level green torches you find.

[late hawk]

that sucks; best of luck in future swamps

[oblique smelt]

thanks

[dull nymph]

can I find fenrirs in other places than frost caves?

[agile rapids]

no, sadly

[agile rapids]

wait, fenris fur is cave exclusive, fenrir enemies are in the mountains at night

is there any way/reason to dip my toes into the mistlands pre-yagluth? is there any materials i might find on the edge and get a leg up with?

[icy brook]

You can get everything from the mistlands without killing yagluth

I did that on one of my saves

[agile rapids]

so far iv'e gotten ygdrasil bark and hare drops

[agile rapids]

yea, but for a skill issue like me that might be different. what's the least risky way to 'level up' my gear/food/potions in the mistlands?

[dull nymph]

yeah, I got happy seeing them at night, then sad seeing they don't drop what I need :c

[icy brook]

I mean there isn't anything you can get without going into the dungeons

[agile rapids]

darn

[dull nymph]

soooo
why
and how do I stop this from happening?
it is behind a wall
that is behind a wall
that is around an island
who's only entry is a closed bridge

and this mf

spanws in the 10m² pig enclosure
REALLY FK ING PRECISELY
and slaughters them all

[charred glacier]

if I've tamed a couple of pigs, is there any way to lure them over to my base some hundred meters aways?

[dull nymph]

no, you either push them, or tame them in the pen you're gonna keep 'em at

good luck lol

you can make a corridor of fences or walls, and push them through

[last osprey]

Get some black marble. You can destroy ruins with a stonecutter for it, no pickaxe needed

That lets craft the cauldron upgrade

[agile rapids]

And what can I make with black marble?

[last osprey]

Cauldron upgrade to make mistland food

That plus jotun puffs and eggs from sealed tower gives you both salad and honey glazed chicken

[echo sparrow]

you need to make sure the interior area you've enclosed is spawn proof--i.e. you need to spam the area on the inside of the wall with enough campfires, workbenches, etc. (objects that block spawns) to prevent any enemies from spawning inside the walls; additionally, it's not really safe without a roof because certain raids that have flying mobs, and also a single wall won't protect against mobs that can come up to the wall and then aggro to mobs on the other side and attack either breaking walls to get in or being able to do an AoE attack (like the shaman's poison) that can hit mobs through the wall

i usually do a compromise myself, where i'll have a fully protected double layer and roof setup for 1 breeding pair to keep them safe, then populate a herd with that that I don't bother with as full protections for because I know i have the pair to fall back on if anything should kill the entire herd

[agile rapids]

Oooooo. I think I'll just fight yagluth as intended, and then buy the 🥚 from haldor. Prob gonna help me on my first day in the mist

[agile rapids]

Oooooo. I think I'll just fight yagluth as intended, and then buy the 🥚 from haldor. Prob gonna help me on my first day in the mist

[vocal plinth]

Why does my campfire switch on/off

[frosty frost]

It needs room to let the smoke out, otherwise it chokes

[vocal plinth]

ty

[last osprey]

it just needs enough space for the smoke to despawn. Which isn't that much. a 2x2x6m "chimney" works fine even if it doesn't vent anywhere.

[frosty frost]

well, yes, i know that 😄 i dont usually make chimneys and let the smoke despawn just under the roof

[last osprey]

i generally do make them to avoid choking myself. But a lot of my bases turn out a little cramped 😂

[frosty frost]

My houses usualy end up 3-4 2x2 walls high (6m-8m) 🙂 so i dont have to worry about that

[gloomy dagger]

what is an obliterator good for? It seems inefficient according to the wiki

[little trench]

just trash bin i think. instead of throwing out of inventory and then maybe picking up by mistake later on for example

[frosty frost]

A trash bit that gives you a bit of coal 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

is there any way to expand the number of inventory slots i have?

[frosty frost]

Nope

Only weight you can carry

[noble tapir]

you can use mods if you feel the needs to get more space, inventory is a struggle

[frosty frost]

Bleh, mods....

[simple tusk]

hey guys so me and my friend beat eikthyr, we got some tin and stuff but we dont really know what to do

we wanna fight the elder but when i tried going there we're seperated by an ocean which prevents me from getting to the elder

[noble tapir]

run around the black forest, looking for little caves to venture into

[simple tusk]

i found a troll cave that had just some amber in it, and a trader. although i cant buy anything of use

[frosty frost]

Explore black forest dungeons and generally islands that have it 😄 you should also go and make some nails in the forge 😉 it will solve the ocean problem

[frosty frost]

Ehm, 100% buy the belt

[subtle parrot]

Find the ones with moving skeletons outside of them

[noble tapir]

you already found the trader? nice! that's pretty good luck

[simple tusk]

thank you will do, thing is i just need to get some coal and then ill maybe make some tin nails since i only have tin rn

[simple tusk]

yeah i wanna but i have only half the money unfortunately

[noble tapir]

you'll want copper too

[frosty frost]

You need also copper 🙂

[simple tusk]

ohhhh ok

ill get back to you guys after i make whatever youre telling me to make

[frosty frost]

It looks like the big rocks you normally find in black forest but it has shiny veins in it 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

is a battleaxe viable as a woodcutting tool? Can it cut the same kinds of trees as the iron axe

[frosty frost]

Yep it is, it can be fun tho i usually only use normal axes, i dont want to waste materials on it 🙂

[noble tapir]

that crystal axe looks really cool

[frosty frost]

Oh indeed 😄

[noble tapir]

i am just getting to mountains on my no map/no portal... i might go with the crystal axe this time

[gloomy dagger]

but can it definitely cut all the same tree varieties?

iron axe cuts ancient trees apparently?

[gloomy pebble]

Hey guys, just recently died in the ocean not super far off from land. My stuf is there, but I died during a storm and there were 2 serpents in the general area. Side note - it was night time too. Is my stuff retrievable you reckon or is that a repeated suicide mission? The Karve I had broke in 2 hits by them…. 😦

[noble tapir]

bronze works too

[frosty frost]

Yep, https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage#Chop

[gloomy dagger]

is there anything i can do to stop our boat drifting when its parked

this is why anchors were invented

[gloomy pebble]

Mastermind @frosty frost I need thy wisdom 🙏🏼🫶🏼

[frosty frost]

It doesent move if something isnt nudging it 🤔 you can test that when you jusp out of it while its moving

[vocal plinth]

Has anyone used a vps for Valheim that works?

[frosty frost]

What can i do for you? 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

doesnt align with my experience, we left it parked in an inlet and it drifted about 15 metres out to sea over an hour of adventuring inland

[vocal plinth]

Whats the best way to make a Karve port, i want it enclosed so that my boat doesn't get eaten by foots?

[frosty frost]

I usually go and park in a river 😄

[vocal plinth]

But then it will hit walls rocks and get chewed by foots

[simple tusk]

how do i reliably get coal? im new

[gloomy dagger]

build a charcoal burner with 5 surtling cores

raid dungeons to get the cores, if you dont have enough to have a smelter and a burner, make the burner first, make lotsa coal, then dismantle it and make a smelter to use it

[simple tusk]

got it thanks

[vocal plinth]

Or just burn some food

[simple tusk]

how do i get surtling cores reliably, theres only one close dungeon and its drained dry

[gloomy dagger]

this is reliable but extremely inefficient, a bad idea

[gloomy dagger]

build a raft and set sail to another continent, there will be many more dungeons

[frosty frost]

Thats what kiln basically does, yes, and turning on dangerous world modifier just for faster coal production is... Strange...

[simple tusk]

tried to sale got fucked up by some sea serpent

[gloomy dagger]

terrible luck, those are fairly rare, try again

[simple tusk]

too scared never again shell shocked

maybe once i get a better boat

[frosty frost]

That you will after making the nails 😉

[gloomy dagger]

you need bronze for a better boat, and you need coal for that, some rafting is gonna be necessary

[frosty frost]

Eh... no?

[gloomy dagger]

stick close to the coast, serpents only appear in the ocean biome iirc

[echo sparrow]

on SOME spawns at least a smidge of rafting probs is literally necessary

[gloomy pebble]

Do you reckon I can retrieve my stuff from the middle of the ocean (not super far off land), but when I died it was night, thunder storming, and there were 2 serpents in the area. When I died they broke my boat in 2 hits…

[echo sparrow]

on MOST spawns i've looked at seeds for/player myself, it hasn't been TECHNICALLY necessary

[gloomy pebble]

Karve ^

[frosty frost]

Oh for sure, if it wasnt the storm what spawned them then they will be gone, and if they were spawned by storm... you will have to be fast 😄 (night spawns despawn at dawn, storm spawns dont). Also dont worry about items you had in inventory, they are safely floating with your grave 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

for dealing with serpents i highly recommend bringing along other players, so one can sail and steer while the other(s) shoot arrows at it

and if a serpent is really chasing you hard, just beach yourself on a convenient shore

you can pickup the pices when they break your boat, and also get better loot from the serpent if you manage to kill it, which is pretty likely if you stand on a beach and shoot it from where it cant retaliate

we recently killed our first by crashing into a sandbar and openning fire

[gloomy pebble]

Any tips on going quickly or anything I should bring? I did not expect the Karve to break so fast by them lol

[frosty frost]

Just a new karve and finewood bow if you have it, the crude bow will do but finewood will be better 🙂

[simple tusk]

will tamed boars eat yellow mushrooms to breed?

[noble tapir]

that's a good question, never tried

[lilac coyote]

Nope, only red.

[simple tusk]

what else do they eat?

[lilac coyote]

Blueberries, raspberries, onions, carrots and turnips.

[frosty frost]

And Turnips 😉

[tired root]

Also carrots 👍

[frosty frost]

The carrots were correct 😄

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, got confused with the other conversation going on.

[simple tusk]

i have carrot seeds, how can i plant them?

[frosty frost]

You need bronze to make the thing you plant them with 🙂

[simple tusk]

ok should i make a forge first or should i make bronze first?

[frosty frost]

You need forge to make it 😉

[tired root]

Like Asatru said, first create a Forge, then craft Cultivator (5 Bronze 5 Corewood)

[simple tusk]

got it thanks. also, i made this giant badass hammer out of corewood and stuff is it worth it?

[frosty frost]

Oh that is nice in the burial chambers 😄

[simple tusk]

ok great! once i get to the elder, should i use it?

[frosty frost]

Its not the best for him, sword+bow with fire arrows is my preffered combo

[tired root]

I recommend using it inside the chambers and also if you get swarmed by multiple enemies like Greydwarves.

Usually it is good to have one weapon for crowds with you.

[simple tusk]

how do i make a sword?

[frosty frost]

Make the forge and bronze 😄

[simple tusk]

got the forge 🤑

[frosty frost]

Now its time for some bronze 😉

[gloomy dagger]

an item has fallen into deep water and sunk to the bottom, its too far down to raise with the hoe. How do we get it?

its very close to land, within arms reach horizontally

[frosty frost]

Make a tower and jump for it 🙂

2-3 walls high should do fine

If not, build higher 😄

[gloomy dagger]

this is so dumb o.o

[gloomy pebble]

Will I have time to kill the serpent you think?

[frosty frost]

You should be able to with finewood bow and flint arrows

[frosty frost]

No no, diving boards are fun~ 😄

[gloomy dagger]

welp it actually worked

[gloomy dagger]

So the dvergar are initially friendly/neutral, right?
What exactly will aggro them, Anything besides directly attacking them?

are they safe to build a base around?

[stoic trench]

Think you could touch the ocean floor if you fall from far enough? 🤔

[frosty frost]

Depends how deep that actually is and if there is max fall speed

[stoic trench]

Gotta try it one day lol

[frail cave]

the ocean is only 30 meters deep at its deepest, and completely flat and featureless

you can easily touch the floor with enough speed, but getting that much speed without commands is another story 😅

probably catapulting yourself off a really tall mountain and unequipping the feather cape while you're above an ocean

[agile rapids]

so i want to use devcommands to spawn myself some armor because i accidentally yeeted it down to Jörmungandr, but when i try to type 'devcommands' the consle replies with 'that command is not valid in this context' or somthing like that. anyone know any way to fix that?

[lilac coyote]

Make sure that you're actually typing in the console, not the chat window and if you're on a multiplayer server that you're the owner (i.e not on a dedicated server).

[hollow heron]

Does anybody know what's fwl+db?

[lilac coyote]

Those are your world files. You need both to load the world correctly.

[solar glade]

Smelters full but not working any ideas?

[frosty frost]

Look at the other side of it 🙂

[solar glade]

ah

im full ret----

[frosty frost]

It happens 😄

[frosty frost]

You have the console enabled i see 😄

[agile rapids]

nevermind i figured it out, i forgot to 'enabledevcommands'

[frosty frost]

If you are on steam version the -console is all you should need, then just type in devcommands to the console itself

[gloomy pebble]

What are bonfires for in comparison to regular? Just bigger lighting or? I do know the fireworks trick, but anything else?

[frosty frost]

They provide fire over a larger area and don't go out during rain.

[gloomy pebble]

Gotcha.. I just unlocked them. Having a hard time progressing from where I am. The swamp enemies nearly decimate me in a few small hits with level 3 troll armor set. Do I just need to explore until I find a swamp area that has Iron? Also, do I need to kill the abominations for anything or are they just the swamp version of trolls? That thing 2 shots me. I know fire arrows are likely my best bet.

Also @frosty frost I did get my stuff back from the ocean. Thanks for advice! I play solo so I was panicking hard because a serpent was still nearby. lol

[frosty frost]

Nice 😄

[frosty frost]

Aboms let you make a swamp tier light armor that gets you poison resistance (helmet but mead gets you better resistance), pierce resistance (chest piece) and archery bonus (this one only with full set), look for 2green torches next to each other as those mark enterence to swamp dungeons where you will find iron, have poison resistance mead with you at all times and dont go there at night. 🙂

[gloomy pebble]

Perfect. I will get onto making those. Is there anything else that will help initially or should I just be super cautious until I can make some iron armor or something? I think I am going to skip bronze for now. I do want wolf armor, but don't think I can even do that until I have the Iron that is necessary to make an Iron Pickaxe.

[frosty frost]

Yeah make the iron when you can, and what weapons are you using?

[gloomy pebble]

The finewood bow or whatever and a Bronze axe

I figured Axe was best for woodcutting and defense

[frosty frost]

Do you have the bronze buckler? It is a great help.

Btw, axe or sword are great agains abominations, it is resistant or very resistant to other whisical dmg 🙂

[gloomy pebble]

I do not. Are shields that helpful? I had the bone tower shield or whatever for a little bit of time. I felt like the shields were clumsy feeling. I almost went Atgeir.

Should I just do a bunch of fire arrows for abomination?

[frosty frost]

Oh i also don't like tower shields, they can't parry, but round shields and bucklers are great, it will help you with surviving in swamp immensely 😄
And for the abomination my favorite strategy Is either to lure them into a fire geysirs or parry them with buckler and swing my axe or sword

[gloomy pebble]

How effective is the parry? I am scared to get close to the abomination or draugr lmao they are super strong

abomination is 2 hit, draugr are like 3-4 hit kills on me

[frosty frost]

With 2 hp foods and upgraded buckler you should be able to parry the Abom iirc 🙂

[gloomy pebble]

Is there a certain area I should be looking for swamplands? The areas I am finding are like.. small portions attached to meadows? Nothing of interest there. Just a land or dread that I want to get out of asap hahaha

The swamp is hell xD

[loud linden]

It's just the nature of the procedural generator. It's not uncommon to find a number of small patches then come across a massive area with a great crypt haul

[gloomy pebble]

I am excited, but terrified lmao none of my friends stay on long enough to help me. They log on for like an hour and then dip to another game. Solo is a pain in the ass!

I need to remember to bring portal stuff with me. I also wish this game had achievements

[loud linden]

Yep, portal mats make a big difference. And for swamps, I recommend building your portal on top of a sunken crypt. Workbench at the base, so you can use it as a step up, then portal on top so it doesn't get destroyed.

[gloomy pebble]

I will give that a go when I finally find a spot I can explore. Right now it is a slow process of balancing what I need and setting out to explore far enough to find what I am looking for. lol\

I am new though so I don't no the most efficient ways to do everything

[tired root]

Achievements will come when 1.0. patch drops.

[fossil bane]

where chanel for russian?

[steep tusk]

There is none. This server is english-only.

[cosmic cedar]

Is it possible to get out of this predicament?

[bleak willow]

just keep pushing the cart around until it flips over. or just destroy it and rebuild it

[cosmic cedar]

Am trying that rn, ty

[gloomy pebble]

Sorry, I was clearing a Draugr village quick. Any word on when that might be? That will be exciting for sure!

Though a bit of a bummer if it is any time soon as I imagine it would require a fresh playthrough

[tired root]

1.0. patch is when Deep North update drops, but we don't know when it will happen.

[tired root]

That's not the case. You can continue your older world after a biome content patch is added if you have left the current unfinished biome mostly unexplored. But devs usually recommend starting fresh.

[willow raft]

It might also be later that they go to 1.0.
Achievements might be added sooner than 1.0 but it is one of the final things they will add.
First Deep North, then tweaking and optimization after feedback and testing by the community and then final release.

[tired root]

It might, but at least I've had the impression according to The Spill that they plan to release 1.0. when Deep North update is ready to be added, with some possible additions to earlier biomes.

[cosmic cedar]

If my base is within the "the ground is shaking event", but I'm not inside the event circle, will trolls still spawn and wreck my base?

[tired root]

They should spawn when you are in the active area. But if you stay outside your base they target only you and leave your base alone.

[cosmic cedar]

ok ty

[tired root]

Stay inside the circle for some time and the event goes off, you don't need to kill the trolls during the event.

Killing them during the event will spawn more of them.

Within the limit of course, 2 trolls is maximum for troll raid.

[tribal quarry]

Anyone know how to get chickens in an egg farm to eat? I don't understand why they aren't. I've watched video guides and I don't understand what I've done that is materially different such that they wouldn't be able to eat.

I've messed with it and no matter what I do they just won't eat.

[lilac coyote]

At a time.

[tribal quarry]

I even removed all the walls and they still won't eat.

[willow raft]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klQg1f41U3c is the chicken farm I use and it has never failed me, the roof and shutter combo puts the food in front of the chickens and the other shutters push the chickens in the perfect spot.

[tired root]

Good add. 👍

[last osprey]

chickens on slopes can be very finicky which places they eat from. I've had some success putting a corner roof next to straight one and throwing the food in there, the chickens ate it through a wall no problem but wouldn't touch anything put in front of them.

[cosmic cedar]

Will changing your forsaken power also change the nature of raids?

Or are the strength of raids dependent on which bosses I've slain?

[tired root]

Your chosen forsaken power doesn't affect on what raids you get.

[tired root]

Each boss has their own "minion raid" that go inactive (=cannot trigger) after the certain boss is defeated and the next raid goes active (=can possibly trigger). Also some additional raids can trigger while progressing the game that never go inactive.

Better explained: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events

[cosmic cedar]

ok thank you

[vocal plinth]

How do I know when my carrots are ready to bve harvested?

[willow raft]

They'll look like this:

@vocal plinth

[vocal plinth]

soo bigger

[willow raft]

Yeah and you'll be able to click them, to pull them out, won't work before.

[vocal plinth]

Anyone know why my Karve keeps getting damaged at random times when sailing?

Additionally is sailing in bnad weather bad for any reason? Like in storms?

[last osprey]

strong waves or underwater rocks probably

and yes the karve can capsize in storms (only at full sail though afaik, pull back to half sail in bad storms and you should be good).

[vocal plinth]

Capsize means

[last osprey]

it flips over

[vocal plinth]

oof

[last osprey]

basically you lose the boat and die if you don't have enough stamina to swim to shore

[vocal plinth]

oof

[vocal plinth]

How close should i plant carrots to one another?

[willow raft]

One "cheesy" way to avoid this is, log off when your stamina is low, go into another world and let stamina replenish, go back to the world you are swimming in, swimm till exhausted and repeat till you make landfall.

[last osprey]

also serpents spawn in storms. You can handle them in a karve with a finewood bow as long as you keep calm though

[willow raft]

About 1m apart.

[vocal plinth]

okey

Can I grow blueberries or berries?

[last osprey]

pro-tip for planting: equip your cultivator, activate walking mode (C on PC) and look down at a ~45° angle, then walk forward while clicking every time the plant turns green.
That gives you the perfect spacing and goes pretty fast

[willow raft]

No but I always make a portal chain, if I find a patch of 5 berries or mushrooms with or more I'll put two portals down, one to come there and one to go to the next patch.

[last osprey]

Can't plant mushrooms either but you'll need the red ones all game. They always respawn in the same spots though so it pays to mark those on the map whenever you find them.

[last osprey]

I got lucky with my starting island, the patch of black forest there is incredibly dense with mushrooms, blue berries and thistles. It's not even worth setting up a portal chain because the next resource is generally within line of sight of the previous 😂 I just do a circuit when i need more and end up with a stack or two of each.

[willow raft]

Dang that is a lot, yeah if I would have such a densely packed black forest I wouldn't portal chain either.

[vocal plinth]

is it just me or is it far easier to get tin than copper?

[last osprey]

In the black forest, yeah. Tin is pretty much everywhere around the coast and rivers and only takes 1-2 pickaxe swings to mine

[willow raft]

Ah, the trick to copper is that most of the copper is underground.
You can dig out the whole copper and make it explode if you clear about 2m around the whole chunk.

[last osprey]

copper you need to dig out a lot of stone to get at the metal

[vocal plinth]

is that faster if its exploded than mined?

[gusty prairie]

Yes! If I find a patch of 4 or more I mark them on the map! Usually a lot close to main base….

[vocal plinth]

do like have to make it float for it to break?

[last osprey]

pretty much

mine away all supporting terrain, then destroy any part of the ore vein and the whole thing explodes

[willow raft]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4srjBuVI6Ik
Most of the times, yes.
Takes more swings to break the copper than the earth and if you use the antler pickaxe for the earth you can keep the other pickaxe for taking down the copper.
The antler pickaxe can be repaired at a workbench while the other ones need a different crafting station.
So pop a workbench, dig out earth, repair antler pickaxe at workbench when needed.
Make the copper float, jump on it and destroy one part of it and it should explode.

[vocal plinth]

Thanks

I mined 60tin in one ingame day, while 30copper in like 4days

[vocal plinth]

I hit water

[ebon marsh]

In that case you won’t be able to pop it

[prime quest]

Summoned skeletons disappear when i use a portal?

[last osprey]

sometimes? I don't think they just despawn, they tend to show back up in random places for me when i portal around.

[prime quest]

oh ok

[last osprey]

no idea how it works in detail or how to keep them around though

[prime quest]

Yea, i wasn't sure, couse it seems sometimes they're still there and another time all gone.

[willow raft]

They will hang around as long as you don't summon new ones somewhere else.
At least that is how it looks to me.

[willow raft]

You can still pop a bunch of it but not all probably, just excavate everything and start mining the bottom away, eventually you will have enough cleared space around and can pop the rest.

[vocal plinth]

Is there a way I could see ping and fps shown?

[frosty frost]

You should be able to enagle it in corner of your screen if using steam, or click on F2

[vocal plinth]

Ping too?

[frosty frost]

It might be in the F2, but not too sure about it

[vocal plinth]

Im gonna tey to run valheim on integrated graphics and an i5 1230u

[prime quest]

Do Asksvin's egg need a fire source in the ashlands?

[frosty frost]

I believe so, yes

[prime quest]

Allrighty. Thought maybe they doesn't, since its the Ashlands, hot everywhere 😛

[frosty frost]

Meybe drop then into the water 😄 but they might turn hard boiled xD

[prime quest]

Can Asksvin destroy walls made of ground? for some reason there is a part of my wall destroyed

[subtle parrot]

Lava blobs can, I don't think asksvin can though

[prime quest]

ah i see, ty

[frosty frost]

Nope, the blobs are the only mobs that can do that currently afaik

[serene tangle]

You mean lava blobs?

[lost dawn]

why does it seem like nothing in the build menu snaps together like they used to everything seems off now

[loud linden]

You are not incorrect. Ashlands in particular feels very... outsourced (if I'm polite).

[prime quest]

Is there a actual list to look up fire source range?

Couse i cannot find the informations for Firepit iron

[loud linden]

Firepits are pre-constructed.

[cursive dew]

Does the tangle effect from jade variants affect bosses or they are immune?

[true steeple]

It effects bosses

[cursive dew]

Awesome, ty

[prime quest]

Wich fire source got the highest range for fire effect?

[loud linden]

Wiki it 🙂

[scenic sundial]

so what exactly do you do when the second you kill moder you're basically getting a fuling raid? lmao

[loud linden]

Perimeter walls.

[scenic sundial]

just asking because that happened to me (when i had no walls and I just had to run and bait them somewhere else until I had the proper stuff to eliminate them)
Im just worried this will happen to me and the mistlands. I'd rather not kill yagluth and get raided by mist enemies which im not prepared for

[loud linden]

If you need to know, the Wiki will tell you what events to expect, when. But, generally, some sort of build protection outside of your actual base walls will make a big difference.

[scenic sundial]

okay then i'd be fine. I have great defense. I just didnt know if the mistlands enemies could simply just fly over the walls

dumb insects

[loud linden]

Oh hell yeh, Seekers will definitely fly over walls. But you need to know which biomes they'll spawn in.

[scenic sundial]

eh what the hell am i saying lol, bonemasses ability basically negates all seeker damage so I dont really care.

ill kill them

silly little cicada

[loud linden]

Good luck to you.

[scenic sundial]

thanks

[agile rapids]

Any tips for fighting yagluth other than drink da wine and don't die?

[loud linden]

Recognise the telecasts for their attacks and use the 'fingers' around the spawn location for protection.

[agile rapids]

Telecasts?

[loud linden]

The animations that precede attacks.

[agile rapids]

Ah.and just in case, does he have any attacks I can't run away from?

[loud linden]

There's an AoE that you need to balance running away with minimising the affected area, but I don't want to spoil it all 😉

[loud linden]

Wait... sorry... I was thinking of Fader. Corrected response - Just learn the animations.

[agile rapids]

Does he have a second stage to worry about?

[loud linden]

If you want the whole strat, just hit the Wiki 🙂

[agile rapids]

That's fair

[vocal plinth]

Can one yield atgeir and shield at once?

[little trench]

nah :/

[loud linden]

Check the weapon details; if it states 'Two-handed' a shield is not an option.

[slender wraith]

Sup vikings!

I've been trying to run a dedicated server on my local network to solve connection issues between me and my wife. I got to the part where I run the start_headless_server file, it opens a CMD window with all the server info in it, and when I connect on my computer using localhost:port, it prompts me to enter the password and right after it disconnects

In the server console, it dc's right after these messages

What am I doing wrong?

[loud linden]

I hate it when my socket gets disposed.

seriously, though... who are you using to host the server?

[slender wraith]

I'm not using no one, trying to host it myself on a local network

[loud linden]

Everyone is using the same version of Valheim?

[slender wraith]

Could be a version mismatch then, ok, I'll investigate

So yeah, I'm trying to run a modded server, launched the original game no mods on and it connected to the server, but my mods for the server did not load. Ty for the help

[loud linden]

Mods are almost ubiquitously always the problem. lol

[slender wraith]

Managed to fix it by copying the folder into the valheim dedicated server folder, wonder if there's a better way to do it without copying the files manually

[agile rapids]

how do i use the hottub? i have it bubbling but i cant lie down in it

[loud linden]

The hot tub is only available to vikings that have had a productive day.

I'm joking... there are 'seats' around the inner edge.

[agile rapids]

darn, guess i gotta 1-tap eikthyr a ferw times

[loud linden]

Don't be too hard on Eikthyr today. He's got some sleigh pulling to do.

[cosmic cedar]

Is there a limit to how deep you can mine with certain pickaxes?

[vocal plinth]

No, there's a limit for all mining in the world

[cosmic cedar]

ok, ty

[buoyant peak]

8m

[cosmic cedar]

Do items on the ground despawn after a while?

[abstract stirrup]

does anyone have a wishbone that ı could borrow? or help me kill the bonemmass boss in their sewrver?

[cosmic cedar]

How do I make a floating copper deposit blow up?

It's not touching any walls or the ground, why doesn't it crumble?

[true steeple]

The check for objects is larger than the collision hitbox of the copper. Remove any terrain or objects that are close to it

[cosmic cedar]

ok, got it

[little trench]

@abstract stirrup you can activate console and spawn it

[last osprey]

yes, if they're not within the radius of a player base item (campfire, workbench, torches, stuff like that)
items dropped within the radius of a player base item never despawn unless they're covered by several meters of water.

[small ridge]

how many boars can be here

also is the wall enough

[agile rapids]

i don't reccomend skipping, so i can help you fight him

[steep tusk]

Hand raised = swipe. Dodge roll forward to immune all damage and keep hitting him.
Hand inside armpit = adds spawn. Run in the direction he is facing and one-shot them when they land. Return to boss and keep hitting him.
Both hands on belly = poison vomit. Turn around and walk/run for 3s and you'll be out of range. Stand and wait for him to walk to you. Keep hitting boss when he gets closer.

Repeat until dead.
Bonemass is a zero-damage fight.

[vocal plinth]

Yoooooo

What is that thing, im pretty sure i saw it the other day on a shore

Like a ghost he vanished soon after and my friends didn't believe me

[steep tusk]

Odin.

[vocal plinth]

Ooouu

Where's his gear, he looks like a monk

[steep tusk]

He's just observing your progress.

[vocal plinth]

Can i

Do things to him

[steep tusk]

No.

[vocal plinth]

How do ppl tame bores then and why do they do it

[glad mica]

Hey all, what is the best/fastest way to train cooking? Im at end game

[vocal plinth]

Why would u want to train that

[agile rapids]

i have no idea why, but onion soup and barley flour are the best ways to go

[thorn spire]

Meat is going to be the easiest thing to acquire and train fast. You can burn it into coal if you dont need the supplies.

[glad mica]

Ive been making endless boar and wolf jerky in stacks of 5. Im hoping im getting exp for each and not 1 per 5 haha

[vocal plinth]

I just learned that there is a ridable animal in valheim like a tank

Lox

Question is how to transport it home to spawn

[agile rapids]

can someone give me a picture of an infested mine entrance?

[radiant steeple]

can someone give me like 4 stacks of iron?

[buoyant peak]

Just spawn it

[last osprey]

#screenshots message

[gritty warren]

So they could farm the resources, you have to be near one (64 meters) for 30 minutes to tame

[vocal plinth]

But whats the point of taming then

Just kill them in the same 30mins u can kill probs 10+

[gritty warren]

Like I said, farm their resources

[vocal plinth]

But its inefficient

[gritty warren]

You can get a much larger and more efficient amount from a farm

[vocal plinth]

Id that so

I need deer skin, is there a farm for it

[gritty warren]

Yup, they start breeding, the more, the more breeding, slowly multiply, so on

[gritty warren]

You sadly have to hunt them, but it’s rather easy

No farm for it

[last osprey]

You can breed up five or six 2-star boars in the time it takes you to plant a decently-sized field if their pen is within range just by throwing in some food. That's 20-24 boar meat and leather scraps just for dumping a stack of food out of your inventory before you start.
You need boar meat for food all the way up through the swamp (and possibly beyond, sausages are good wolf food) and leather scraps remain useful until Mistlands at least.

So it's more efficient to spend the time to set up a farm once and then never have to worry about going out to hunt them again, especially when you're two or three biomes ahead and have little to gain from running through the meadows.

[hardy veldt]

is it worth it to run half carapace armor and half mage armor if im going half mage and half melee or just full mage armor?

[vocal plinth]

When can i get my first mage item?

[tired root]

During processing Mistlands.

[mental sleet]

best weaps for bonemass?

[tired root]

Iron mace.

[last osprey]

defense doesn't apply while the bubble is up so it'll mostly be doing nothing for you. And if your bubble breaks you'll still have mage hp so it's not like armor will make you much more survivable. Better to avoid the movement speed penalty so you can get out of range fast and recast it.

If you don't need the eitr regen from the mage set and just want to use melee as filler Fenris armor is probably a better bet since it synergizes with the bubble staff better.
Otherwise mage set eitr regen and double- or triple-eitr food just lets you kill most things before they even get into melee range. Which will do much more to keep you alive than a few more points of defense.

[delicate condor]

do you guys always travel around with the hoe?
or you leave hoe and cultivator in base next to your farm?

[true steeple]

I take a hoe to most places, but it’s one of the first items I won’t bring if I need more space

[stoic trench]

I sometimes bring a hoe, but never cultivator.

[last osprey]

in only bring a hoe when i know i'm going to use it

[hardy veldt]

ty

[agile rapids]

do i need two chickens to begin breeding them? or are they special?

[steep tusk]

Everything in Valheim is special.

[frosty frost]

Yep, need 2

[agile rapids]

darn, time to farm some money

[frosty frost]

Or go to sealed tower 🙂 all of them have 2 eggs in them

[hardy veldt]

what should i make with flametal i just made a bunch and havent done a fortress yet so no elemental weapons

[steep tusk]

Make the rank 1 weapons (since you need them anyway) and play around to decide which one you would actually want to make elemental.

[agile rapids]

so i made a black forge, but have no soft tissue. what are the priority items for me to craft from the mistlands?

[stoic trench]

You’re going to want to make an Eitr refinery, most of the top gear will require eitr.

[agile rapids]

i didn't unlock that yet, what is it made of?

dammit. i keep forgetting the wiki exists. anyways, would you say it's reasonable to fight a dvergvgvgervgerger camp with plains* tier gear? or is that a hell naw?

[buoyant peak]

Nope

[burnt vessel]

Ride it onto a longship, be sure to center the Lox on the boat as they do not rotate with it, then carefully sail it home.

[hardy veldt]

i made all of them im thinking about making the slayer and berserkir axes elemental

[steep tusk]

Ling Axes are one of the most fun things they have added to the game.

[hardy veldt]

why are there some spots in the ashlands where it looks very blurry

visual bug or intended?

[gritty warren]

It’s super hot, heat distorts that

[stone shuttle]

do you guys usually create multiple sattelite homes on different islands or just keep building upon your first house?

[gloomy pebble]

I just got to swamp biome and have been getting Iron. As I am unable to travel with the ore or ingots, am I limited to making an entire new base with the crafting tables and everything all over again? What should I focus on making with the iron? Just pickaxes and such to find obsidian and silver in the mountains?

[spare ravine]

What I do with swamp is that I bring back some iron, build a longship, and then I absolutely fill it with iron scraps before returning home.

[tropic granite]

Meadows is biome with the least of annoying enemies, but it's the furthest from other biomes like Plains. I usually build a simple house and then relocate to Plains / Swamps, only boar farms and plains' farm of barley require a specific minibase

[gloomy pebble]

How much can a longship hold? Is that the final ship? I am quite a ways away from the base I have dubbed as "main" for now so wondering if it would be smart to just make everything in the swamp again or something.. I wish we could just transfer the ore and ingots through portals lol

[spare ravine]

the longship isnt the final ship, but its arguably the best one. It can hold a loooot of iron

[tropic granite]

It has 3x8 or 3x6 slots

[gloomy pebble]

Gotcha.. that sounds like the route I may go. Reading online make this Iron age grind a pain in the a**

The draugr absolutely smoke me rn

[spare ravine]

its 18 slots, yes

I like the swamp. Its my favourite biome.

[gloomy pebble]

The atmosphere is beautiful, just not a fan of everything being so strong at the moment lmao

My troll armor is barely cutting it xD

[spare ravine]

You can easily deal with them using a humble finewood bow if you take the time to raise the skill level

[tropic granite]

It's not even a little as difficult as further biomes, prepare to grind ||suffer||

[gloomy pebble]

I think having friends who enjoyed the game would make it less painful too. It is quite rough solo. Still fun, don't take me wrong, but I imagine several people gathering needed resources and such at once make it miles easier.

[spare ravine]

keep in mine that you also need to gather more ressources since you need to gear up everyone

Also do make the iron armor. It might slow you down, but the armor rating work well.

[gloomy pebble]

I figured I should do this, yeah. The slowness may stink a bit, but I imagine the damage mitigation is much larger.

[spare ravine]

much

a shield helps, and im sure you are making swamp tier food

[gloomy pebble]

Yes I have sufficient food for the time being I think. I finished 1 crypt and think I may just need to suffer and make the longship as you said so back and forth a time or 2.

I think I have maybe 4 stacks of iron or so? roughly that from 1 crypt

[spare ravine]

you need 10 iron for a longship. That leaves you a bunch to do other gear

[gloomy pebble]

is scrap a 1:1 ratio for ingot?

[spare ravine]

oh, you need ancient bark too

and yes, its one to one. All ores are like that

[gloomy pebble]

I just meant is it like bronze mixing anything or multiple scrap since its not technically the ore version?

But if its 1:1 that is good!

[spare ravine]

nah, bronze is unique for that

also thats why you need little bronze to build stuff

youll find that you need lots of iron to do anything

[gloomy pebble]

Thanks for the help @spare ravine 🙂

[austere lantern]

I want to ask, I have collected barley and then made flour in the windmill but when I want to make bread in Cualdorn the bread option doesn't appear even though my Cualdorn is level 4, so I can't make bread, what should I do to get bread?

[mossy rock]

Hello, i am returning player, i am not able to figure out valheim dedicated server stuff, before it used to be small software to start and stop server and easy to upload world in it

[little trench]

yea i think i stop bringing it in ashlands when my action bar has too many items

[little trench]

you need "food preparation table" to make bread and then a stone oven to bake it

[burnt vessel]

I usually have one hoe in inventory (when I have room) and leave another on an item stand at the farm since they're cheap to craft.

[charred glacier]

Can wolves be fed with neck tails?

[tired root]

Yes.

[vocal plinth]

What building materials are there, i know wood and stone, there's probably black metal too but what else

I want to get iron, is the elder key to enter sunken crypts a one time use and i will need to get more keys to enter more of the crypts or does one key unlock em all

[tough hare]

One key unlocks all doors to the sunken crypts.

As for building mats, you got wood, stone, black marble, grausten.
For support you will need wood and iron. There are some iron pieces you can use as floor / wall too. Or as support.
For roof pieces you will need wood and tar.
And for furniture you will need wood, fine wood, stone, tar, ygdrasil wood, copper and iron.

[spare ravine]

its at the preparation table

[mossy rock]

can anyone help with this

[frosty frost]

Try #dedicated-server 😄

[mossy rock]

oh thanks thanks 😅

[shy dagger]

trying to build

[little trench]

good start

remember to put roof over everything so the wood doesnt get rain damaged

[vocal plinth]

How far away do i have to be for my ship to not get loaded/destroyed

[frosty frost]

5 zones over i believe

[vocal plinth]

How muh is a zone

[frosty frost]

64x64 meters i believe

you might not have to be that far tho, i am not too sure if everything loads in that disance or only certain things

[vocal plinth]

My ships where i loaded the island am i far enough

[frosty frost]

I think you should be 🤔

[gloomy pebble]

Asatru always in clutch in the chat

[charred glacier]

Anyone know a good mod for placing barrels/crates etc? To spice up our harbor.

[tough hare]

You may consider to ask that here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[subtle parrot]

Go see haldor

[charred glacier]

Ah thanks, didnt see that channel first

[tough hare]

Although you are able to craft your own barrels these days.

[charred glacier]

You mean the mead barrel?

oh nevermind, haldor it is 😄 thanks

[slate fulcrum]

Hi, I'm new to the game. I've tried to create a lobby to play with friends but when I quit they lose the connection. Is there no way to keep the server open, or you can only play if the host is always connected? Thank you guys

[tough hare]

The others can only join if you as host are online.
If you want them to play while you're away, you should either keep your game running or consider renting a dedicated server.

[willow jungle]

I still have ships on places on the otherside of the map from weeks/months ago, they are still there. I don;t think there's a limit or something on it. They are all Longships

[vocal plinth]

if a troll breaks my boat where does stuff inside the storage of the boat go, does it drop or delete?

[tough hare]

It'll end up in crates, similar to the one you see when you fill up a cart.
The crates work in a similar way as the tombstones, so as long as you don't remove everything, they're still there.

[vocal plinth]

and how can i force a troll to go back where he came from so i could get back my stuff?

[tough hare]

Run past him until he follows you, then take a wide birth back from where you started, try to break the line of sight and return to where you are killed.

To break free from his line of sight, sprinting with the Eikthyr power works best.

The other option is to face him and kill him. Even if you got more inferiour gear.

[young mantle]

Our based wrecked by a 2 trolls wanting free honey. Great Christmas Present. Wondered what people's best home defence against these free loaders.

[tough hare]

For me that's an island base, far enough from the main land to make sure they have to swim to get there.

[vocal plinth]

HAAAALP

[subtle parrot]

If you get raided, run outside, they want you not your buildings

[subtle parrot]

Just go with the wind at full speed, you'll be fine

[vocal plinth]

canm i get finewood in black forest?

[clever juniper]

no, other than finding broken ships or finewood chairs outside some stone towers

[vocal plinth]

if i break this, i get finewood?

[clever juniper]

yep, that is a great early source of fine wood

there should also be a chest in there as well

[vocal plinth]

is this good trade, what do i buy? lighting rock looks sick

[clever juniper]

the belt is the priority

[vocal plinth]

what belt

[clever juniper]

Megingjord

ups your carry weight capacity

Dverger Circlet is a helmet lamp to help see in caves/dungeons

thunderstone will allow you to create something to dispose of unwanted items in a cool way

Ymir flesh helps unlock a couple of unique weapons

[vocal plinth]

Any good?

[clever juniper]

Combined with silver, it makes arguably the best weapon in the game

[frosty frost]

One very good, and one fun to use tho not really that much practical

[vocal plinth]

Silver is probably far from reach for me as im just past bronze age with maxed troll gear

[clever juniper]

yes, I would then say it is not a priority yet

there is a way to find silver in the bronze age, but I will only let you know if you want a tip. It is still very dangerous

[frosty frost]

You might as well take 5 of them when you have the money for it tho 🙂 but belt is 100% first on the list of things you should buy

[vocal plinth]

I can always come back to it right?

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[subtle parrot]

Make a hut with a portal nearby for ease of access

[vocal plinth]

Uep

[tight glacier]

Does anyone know what would cause naked goblins to spawn inside walls and kiss my friend? Once he broke down the wall it teleported to another one

My only guess is that it's due to how tall the structure is. But he is also incapable of seeing the goblin itself

[vocal plinth]

You need to spawnproof the base from inside

With like firecamps or workbenches, maybe even torches, i think it also depends on biome ehat structures spawnproof an area, also the spawnproof range is like of a bencheork too

[frosty frost]

The naked fuling is a bug, was some time back thought it was patched

[tight glacier]

So it's only visible to the host player? Is it a real fuling or just a visual/audio glitch

[frosty frost]

I have no idea, only heard about it never experienced it myself

[balmy mesa]

Does anyone know if i'll be able to use the character i played with on steam if I play on the xbox version?

[knotty elbow]

Hey guys, do you have any tips for finding Haldor?

[frosty frost]

Sail around black forest covered islands, and try to look around elder 🙂

[clever juniper]

and it wont be near the middle of the map black forests, you need to be out a little ways from the spawn

[frosty frost]

at least 1500m from spawn 🙂

[dusk knot]

Hello, does silver appear in the snow area at the top of the map?

[steep tusk]

Does the Mountain-biome-specific resource appear in the Deep North biome?

That's a real thinker...

[frosty frost]

It can in the mountain biomes, doesent matter where they are, deep north doesent have any advantage against the rest of the map really

[true steeple]

Not in the deep north biome, but the deep north continent contains mountains with silver. It’s best not to explore there though, as new content won’t generate there when the biome is updated in 1.0

[dusk knot]

Thank you for the help, it's just that I can't find silver. I've explored more than three mountains, but I can't find any. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong with the Wishbone.

[frosty frost]

Nothing wrong 🙂 just bad luck. Keep at it and you will find some

[clever juniper]

be sure the wishbone is equipped, it isn't just automatically on when it is in your inventory

and silver is typically mid-way or higher up the mountains in the flat forest areas

[dusk knot]

Thank you, I will keep searching

[steep tusk]

It's at or above Obsidian. So if you don't see any of that on the Mountain don't even try.

[frosty frost]

it doesent really matter which point of a mountain is it, it has set height requirement 🙂 (and almost always above obsidian since that has lower height requirement)

[clever juniper]

all of the unluckiness just means that when you find some it will be a multi-node find!

[agile rapids]

what's the best food that i can mass produce in the mistlands? i have a lot of seeker meat and no etir yet

[steep tusk]

My food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat
You're looking for the Configurations tab.

[knotty elbow]

Damn, got to sail a lot it seems. Thanks for the tip!

[frosty frost]

Its not as far as it might seem 😄

[agile crown]

Just straight seeker meat isnt bad, meat platters are pretty cheap and are real good

[noble tapir]

You have it equipped, right? Make sure you're looking for large mountain ranges and not just small 1 mountain areas.

[vocal plinth]

When do I get materials back from a broken Karve?

[true steeple]

A karve immediately drops all materials when broken

[vocal plinth]

What if its broken by a troll

[true steeple]

It doesn’t matter how

[frosty frost]

As do most of structures and things you build with hammer

[vocal plinth]

Okey cool

I might have to go back to my old death place and see if my karve remains are still there

Also how fast can i get iron scrap in swamp? Like time wise

I have a place that has like 3 crypts

Near one another, but how much iron scrap can i expect from each one?

[noble tapir]

It's very random. Sometimes 25, sometimes 120

[surreal flame]

How do I disable slow mode for faster texts?

[frosty frost]

As was said in the other channel, around 50-60 is around average (just keep in mind it can vary quite a bit)

[frosty frost]

You dont, its here to prevent too much spamming

[surreal flame]

ah ok

[gloomy dagger]

what can we do with excess trollhide, when we already have max level trollhide armor and left that behind an age ago

the bog witch is selling us potions to attract more trolls, WHY

[noble tapir]

The spear

[gloomy dagger]

what spear?

[stray flare]

or cape

[gloomy dagger]

thats part of the armor, old news

[stray flare]

Armor protects u love. That is a accessory

[gloomy dagger]

No, that is armor. 3 armor specifically

[frosty frost]

The cape still provides some (little) armor and is part of the armor set 😉

[gloomy dagger]

THIS is an acessory

[agile rapids]

are jotun skulls rare? ive explored this much mistlands but havn't found any skulls

[frosty frost]

¨Just sometimes hard to spot

[agile rapids]

is soft tissue only in skulls and dvergr?

[thorn spire]

You can also find it in ||Putrid Holes in Ashlands||

[frosty frost]

Skulls, dvergrs drop it sometimes and its in their crates also (later there is some in ashlands too)

[agile rapids]

awww.....

gotta keep searching

[stray flare]

Hmm. prob the type to eat gushers cuz they bust in your mouth

[gloomy dagger]

what spear?

[frosty frost]

I assume they mean elder bark spear, you need total of 10 troll hide to make and fully upgrade it

[weak zealot]

What’s the difference between block force and block armour. I recently entered the Ashlands and I’m looking to build a new shield to replace my carapace one but the Ashland sheild has less block force so it seems worse?

[steep tusk]

Force = Knockback
Armor = Actually involved in blocking

[tired root]

Ancient bark spear, iron tier and it needs some troll leather too.

[delicate mica]

why i cant make sasuage?

[frosty frost]

Make an upgrade to the cauldron 🙂 you need turnips for that

[delicate mica]

ok how can i do upgrade? I have to pick up turnips?

[frosty frost]

You need to find them in swamp and then grow them

[true steeple]

Like with other crafting stations, you build improvements around the cauldron. The spice rack requires turnips.

[frosty frost]

They look like a carrot seed plant with yellow leaves instead of white

[delicate mica]

oh ok

i found it thanks

so when it grow up i get an upgrade or what?

[frosty frost]

Yep, the turnip you will get is needed for the upgrade, and it will unlock new few new food items 🙂 so go and farm them

[delicate mica]

how long is it takes?

[frosty frost]

After 3 in-game days they should be grown 🙂

[steep tusk]

3 real-life days 😏

[delicate mica]

omg

too long

[frosty frost]

Nah 😄 1 - around 1,5 irl hours (if you dont sleep in game)

[delicate mica]

ah okey, but still

[frosty frost]

if you will go sleep around noon each day it will be pretty quick 🙂

[delicate mica]

i slept while ago

[frosty frost]

After you wake up you can go back to sleep after 10 and a half irl minutes 🙂

[steep tusk]

🎶 NO
🎶 SLEEP
🎶 TILL BONEMASS

[gloomy dagger]

I'm trying to build a really tall central support pillar for a huge roof, but i can't place anymore stone pillar blocks, they start selfdestructing. what can i do ?

in the upper/left of the screen you can see the roof i want to make, it will be expansive and cover this whole area, this pillar is meant to be the centre of it

the pillar is eight Stone Pillar Blocks high, and the ninth will not allow itself to exist

they are 1x1x2 blocks of stone, seem perfect for this purpose

[tough hare]

You can put a Core Wood log on top of the stone pilar and it will support the rest.

Or you can use the Wood-Iron pole to connect all the stone pillars and thus gain a bit more support

[gloomy dagger]

i dont understand why the first one would work, or what you mean by the second

[steep tusk]

Ironwood.

[gloomy dagger]

we have not beaten bonemass yet

[steep tusk]

You don't need to.

[dusk knot]

Finally, I found the silver! 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

we have access to swamp resources, barely, stone construction is The New Thing

[tough hare]

It's because of the natural physics this game has.

You can't build infinite with stone. But you can increase it's "strength" by adding another pole into its core, just like using rebars in real life concrete.

[steep tusk]

Moment you acquire iron you have ironwood.
And it is the highest construction point item in the game.

[tough hare]

If you have iron bars - which you should have since you got a stone cutter - you will also have one type of standing and laying wooden beam using iron.

[gloomy dagger]

construction point? What is that?
that terminology doesn't appear here afaik
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Building_stability

[steep tusk]

Stability. Whatever it is called.
Ironwood allows you to build higher and further than any other material.

Because it has the most "points" for Valheims internal building system rating.

[gloomy dagger]

but how?

[steep tusk]

How does stone let you build higher than basic wood?

^ answer to that is how ironwood allows you to build higher than anything else.

[gloomy dagger]

Again, thats not a thing, there are four different stats, and Grausten has the highest MaxSupport value

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

Fine believe whatever you wish. I make a habit of blatantly lying to people.

[gloomy dagger]

don't you facepalm at me
Stone builds higher because it has a MaxSupport 10x the value of wood, and about 7x higher than corewood

[tough hare]

You playing on steam, perhaps?

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[gloomy dagger]

yes, are there other significant platforms? I've never met anyone on a console

[tough hare]

Well, that's not the issue.

But it makes it easier for you to read through this for a bit:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2449156045&searchtext=build

[gloomy dagger]

are you FSB Agent ?

[tough hare]

As well as reading this:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2414835523&searchtext=build

[gloomy dagger]

things inside other things, do they just use the values of the better piece, or is there a symbiotic effect?

[tough hare]

They use the value of the better piece.

And the Wood Iron Pole / Beam have the best values for that.

If you want to cover a large area with a stone floor you may use the beam or the 2x2m cage floor, (starting with the 1x1m cage floor from the wall) to get more strength.

[gloomy dagger]

in my case i can only afford two iron bars, would it be better to place wood-iron poles below, above, or inside (the bottom four metres of) my stone pillar ?

if my understanding of the mechanics is correct, below ?

as messed up as that would look

[tough hare]

Around works similar and gives a better look.
If the highest pilar still colapses, use the Log Pole for the last bit.
That way you get maximum support of your roof.

Also, it may be a good idea to use Log Poles in your wall and extend the beams under your roof to get more support of roof pieces.
Connect the diagonal ones with horizontal beams so you get a grid and it should be good.

You create basically a supporting skelleton for your walls, floor and roof by doing that.

[gloomy dagger]

i don't see a symbiotic effect from my understanding though, the vertical strength loss on the components seems to be the limiting factor for building high?

what will a grid of horizontal beams accomplish?

[tough hare]

It will add supporting strength to a floor or roof.

To give you an example:

Ever seen how people rescue other persons from a hole in the ice?

[gloomy dagger]

i understand how real building supports work, wider building footprint is the key to building high, assuming materials are unchanged

but from what i get from the wiki, this is not a realistic simulation and normal physics dont really apply

spreading the load of a building over a wider area makes sense in reality
I just don't see how it makes sense in this game according to the building rules on the wiki

[tough hare]

They do in this game.
Even normal buildings can only go "this high" before the pressure of the weight of the floors above it will crush the ones below it.

One of the reasons why they used stone for the ground floor and wood for the first floor in the old European houses.

[gloomy dagger]

okay can you explain a scenario to me, strictly under the rules of the game and ignoring reality

__X
|
|

This X is two steps vertical and two steps horizontal from the ground, right?

 __X__
|     |
|     |

Is this X any different? If so, how?

[tough hare]

When you build in the game, have you ever seen the colours of the pieces?

[gloomy dagger]

yea red means not enough support

[tough hare]

Right.

[gloomy dagger]

also in this scenario, additional question to be answered seperately:
if the left supports were ironwood and the right supports are normal wood, do the right supports help at all? Is there any benefit in that situation?

[tough hare]

But it also tells you that the higher you get, the less support you get from anything that stands.

[frail cave]

only the iron one would matter

[gloomy dagger]

ok ty
also the previous question, if the supports were the same material, does the right one matter? if so, how

[tough hare]

So in your first scenario the X may already be Orange, because it has support from only one side.

While in the second scenario it may turn Orange when you want to build it, but the moment it is build it's having a yellow or green colour because it now gets support from two sides.

[frail cave]

(assuming the iron wood has enough stability from below to make use of its potential)

[gloomy dagger]

a picture, just to make sure discord isn't formatting the relevance out of the example

what is the difference in valheim between these two constructions

[tough hare]

With the same materials, what I just wrote above Winter's second reply.

[gloomy dagger]

How does having two sides matter?
It is still the same number of steps away from the ground, wouldn't the support values of those beams+poles be degraded the same amount whether there's one or two sets of them ?

[frail cave]

just tested, it does get slightly better if supported from both sides, but not to a realistic degree, i'm not sure about the calculations behind that

(in my test it went from darkish orange to orange)

[gloomy dagger]

the degree is unimportant, if its a nonzero value, i want to understand why

[frail cave]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Building_stability i could read this page up and down a million times and wouldn't get it, brain too small 😅

[gloomy dagger]

i am also reading that, how i learn is by reading big lists of rules like that, simulating them in my head, finding unexplained holes, and asking questions to fill them

[frail cave]

...or not, that looks like it might be the answer?

[gloomy dagger]

i don't understand how two sets of equidistant equimaterial supports can have a symbiotic effect-

[gloomy dagger]

this may be it

[tough hare]

The same as in Real life.

Build something with concrete and it will collapse pretty soon.
Put Rubars in the concrete and it will be a lot stronger.

Or for the skyscrapers: use an iron skelleton to support the concrete and you can get a few dozen floors done.
(Edit: Well, actually the skelleton is made of steel, but I hope you get the idea).

[frail cave]

the iron skeleton on its own would stand almost as well, because it's iron
this is about two of the same things supporting each other, like a more traditional stone bridge, which valheim doesn't seem to replicate outside of this one small instance where one piece alone can be affected from two sides

[tough hare]

Oh, Winter, thanks for that comment. 🙂

I got screenshots of how I build a bridge to give some idea about how it works.

What I did here was setting up the pillars first, by placing them at the same distance from one another.
Once I got to the desired height, I added the arches to the stone walls, so I could support the floor of the bridge.
In the 3rd screenshot that floor is shown, and it's all having enough support without even using the additional beams or grates to support; simply because the arches extend the support of the walls.

The last screenshot shows the skelleton I set up to support the roof, so I'd be sure that none of the roof pieces would turn into a red one.
But eventually the whole construction is "carried" by the three pillars. Of which the center one is only touching the floor, but the two on the outside also connect to the landmass and thus have maximum support.

@gloomy dagger Does that help you a bit? Or still fuzzy?

[frail cave]

i'd be really surprised if the middle of each of the two stone archways wouldn't hold with only one side of each archway intact, stone arches are pretty good for angled stability.
the thing i mean is that irl, both entire sides would support each other because they're in each other's falling direction.
in valheim each wall can hold on its own, it's only at the very piece where they meet that their stability in some way combines, helping not each other but only the top piece, making it more stable than it would be with only one wall.

[tough hare]

The thing we ran into here, was that Nanako tried to build a stone column by using multiple pillars, but the top one crumbled all the time and she didn't understand why.

So we suggested that she put the Wood Iron beams inside the pilars for additional strength.
And somehow she couldn't understand why / how that mattered.

[frail cave]

ohhh, sorry, my bad, didn't read up 😅

[tough hare]

No problem.
I think building in this game is one of the most complicated things of the game.
And one of the most interesting things of this game.
But you need to use a bit of physics for it; without thinking it too far ahead as it's not meant to be something like rocketscience. 😄

On top of it, I know there's a difference in construction methods between Europe, North-America, South-America, Australia and Asia.
Which may add to the confusion as well.

I just hope that @gloomy dagger understood enough of it to solve her problem.

[gloomy dagger]

what i'm not quite getting here is the constant mention of two

What if something is supported by more than two. Is it a system of recursively collapsing pairs, or are just the two first/strongest used and all others ignored?

[frail cave]

hmmmmm, i'll check that too

[gloomy dagger]

two supports are averaged and combined into one

so are four supports combined into two pairs, and then the above?

[frail cave]

my guess is that only the strongest will apply and the weaker link/s won't affect it, so let's see (so in the case of two equal links, it'll act the same as only one of the two overlapping links)

it looks like that guess is the case but i can't say for sure without looking at the stability stats, i should probably take the time to do this with iron stuff so the increments are at least more noticeable

still looks that way with a bigger iron cross arch but yea, no certainty yet 😅

[tough hare]

@gloomy dagger Do you have core wood?

[frail cave]

...what am i doing i literally have ESP installed right now, i had the support stats right there
so the two parents don't have to be opposite of each other, you can also have one supporting from east and the other from north (the page probably implies that, i just missed it), rather than just east + west or north + south, but only one (the strongest if their strengths vary) link like that takes effect

[tough hare]

If you do, instead of using a stone pillar as the last piece, use a 2m Log Beam for that problem you showed here: #valheim-help message

It won't be as strong as the stone pillar, but it will get you the height you want for the rest of your building.

Over time you may be able to build a stronger support once you get to Mistlands.

If you don't want to do that, I think it may be a good idea if you start a new game, with the free build option (Hammer mode) and the "no cost" option enabled, so you can build all pieces and found out which materials do what and which ones provides the strongest / highest buildings.

And since it's 4AM over here, I'm off to bed.

Good luck with the building and I hope you manage to get your problem solved!

[lilac coyote]

Was that about me?

[lapis terrace]

[buoyant peak]

Just spawn it

Trading in this game is completely worthless

[vocal plinth]

Do i need to wear a full iron set to fight goblins in plains? To get black metal?

[frail cave]

plains come after mountains, so you're meant to enter them with silver gear
-# but as is often the case, it's not a hard requirement, silver gear just makes it less difficult

[vocal plinth]

The other day i swam by some camp in plains and shot some goblins

They didn't die but my finebow did enough damage, to the point where i think they are kiteable

[frail cave]

they definitely are, it just takes more hits/shots~

[vocal plinth]

Goblins drop dark metal right?

[frail cave]

yes, but you can't process it without the drop from the mountains boss

[vocal plinth]

But i can build the blast furnace, cant I?

[frail cave]

not without that drop - it requires an artisan table instead of a workbench/forge

[vocal plinth]

Aaand

Can i kill the mountain boss with iron stuff?

I just really want black metal, looks so cool

[frail cave]

you can, it'd just be slightly more difficult than using silver gear
and you'd have to rely on frost resistance meads for frost resistance - silver armor has it built in

[vocal plinth]

Soo what's exciting about iron then

I like the longboat

[frail cave]

making the mountains easier - each biome prepares you for the next, in iron/swamp's case that's the mountains

[vocal plinth]

I see

[frail cave]

but also iron as a resource remains relevant throughout most of the game.
it's part of the strongest group of structural support materials, making it nearly essential for huge builds, and many mid to lategame pieces of equipment still cost iron

[steep tusk]

What else would you kill her with?

[vocal plinth]

Finewood bow and bronze atgeir?

[steep tusk]

Doable, but would take considerably longer.

[frail cave]

possible, just takes a while, if you wanna save the iron by not making iron equipment, i respect that~
i save as much of my iron as i can too

[vocal plinth]

I have a small hut for a base

[steep tusk]

You lost me at i.

[frail cave]

and silver is a breeze to collect if you shatter it with gravity

[vocal plinth]

It's more pretty than practical

[steep tusk]

😏💛

Usually just use the Iron Mace you killed Bonemass with to slaughter everything in the Mountains.

[frail cave]

yea nothing in the mountains resists that thing and it's the best tier-appropriate option against stone golems

other than stone golems, weapon types are pretty balanced in terms of damage type resistances, iirc most mountains enemies are neutral to all 3 physical types

(and even vs stone golems, it's not as extreme as it is for say bonemass, they regular resist (x0.5) pierce and slash and are neutral (x1) to blunt.)

[vocal plinth]

Can you guys teach me how weapons work

For example damage types

I'm trying to understand why mace is better than atgeir for sunken crypts

[frail cave]

there are 3 physical damage types, each weapon type deals one of them with the exception of knives, which split their damage 50/50 into slash and pierce.
each enemy has their own resistances and weaknesses to these types, they can be immune (x0), very resistant (x0.25), resistant (x0.5), neutral (x1), weak (x1.5) or very weak (x2) though very resistant (x0.25) and very weak (x2) are pretty rare.
the first 3 show damage numbers as grey, neutral shows them as white and weaknesses show them as yellow, but it gets a bit confusing in how the colour is decided 😅
for example DoT damage actually becomes "true" damage after the first hit, so while it is still reduced or increased based on resistances, the damage numbers will show as white either way.
and also, if a hit deals multiple types, the colour is decided by the biggest percentage before resistances are applied.
f.e. a hit that deals 20 blunt and 30 fire will be the colour of the enemy's fire resistance/weakness, even if the fire ends up dealing less damage because of a resistance.
